Hi guys just looking to see what everyone else does when not installing any AFDDs when the customer isn't interested in them (can't really blame them) I currently just put a note on the certificate saying that client was advised but refused them. If anyone has any information about what the schemes are saying about this it would be appreciated as I have my next NICEIC assessment soon and not really sure.
Thanks
 
Covering arse?.....More use......latest from Snickers.......Automatic Fart Detection Denims.
edit. That should be ...latest from Stinkers.
 
The regs recommend them for;
  • Premises with sleeping accommodation (e.g. a youth hostel)
  • Locations with a risk of fire due to the nature of stored or processed materials (e.g. barns)
  • Locations with combustible construction materials (e.g. a building constructed primarily of timber)
  • Fire propagating structures (e.g. chimney like spaces, lift shafts)
  • Locations with endangering of irreplaceable goods (e.g. museums)
 
Stroma assessment last week....assessors opinion was houses are dwellings...but they are only a recommendation (for now)....so recommended em but and make a note in the cert if declined...
 
Assessor is allowed to have an opinion ... can’t wait for my bloke, ha ha. I do try not to bait him, but I’m anything but perfect :) .
